Re: I have a polaroid id1440 and somehow the videos were...

Don't use the card, till you recovered the video's. Every access to the memory card could make it more difficult to recover the files.
Try one of the programmes you can download, on your computer, when you have placed the memory card in a card reader connected to your computer.

At the bottom of the unit there is a small hole next to the usb and micro card slot with a paper clip gently insert the paper clip into the small round hole and this will reset the camcorder to factory settings

The answer is YES. Do it as follows.---------------------------------------------------------

First things first: DO NOT take any more videos with the memory card or hard disk (on your camcorder) that you want to recover videos from. Take the memory card or disk out of your cam and put it in a safe place. Because if you take any more videos or save any data to your memory card or hard disk, you may quite possibly ruin your chances of video recovery.

Then Connect the card or disk to your computer as it should appear as a "Removable Drive" or put the card in a card reader attached to your PC.

Next, if you are comfortable with using a PC then you can download a data recovery utility that will recover your videos with Wondershare Recovery Software (I once used this program bounded with some other software) from the following link:

You have to use a card reader either on your computer or an external USB card reader. Put the card in the card reader, open the recovery program, then select the drive where files are deleted, then press "Next" and wait for it to do it's magic.

Somehow the card is set to read only in the software in the Polaroid. You will need to download the pictures onto a PC and then try to reformat the card in the camera. If that fails reformat on a PC and then try formatting in the camera. If that fails you will have to get another card.
